Chair Yoga
For anyone who has ever hesitated to try yoga because of the challenge of getting down onto the floor or doing standing poses, now a chair becomes your mat. Many poses that can be done standing, sitting or lying on a mat can be adapted to sitting on a chair or using a wall for support. Everyone, beginner to advanced, is accommodated, as each pose will be presented in multiple levels of flexibility. The class includes breathing, meditation, stretching, strengthening and a lot of fun! $8.00 per session. Held in the Lounge of the Community Center, main level. Call to register at 222-3415.
